Abstract:
The invention comprises a method of isolating at least some of the high molecular weight organic compounds containing basic groups such as proteins, polypeptides, bacteria, virus and enzymes, from solutions containing them, by the steps of bringing the solution into contact with a lignocellulosic material which has been sulphonated to such an extent that its ion exchange capacity reaches to at least 0.15 milliequivalents per gram, and separating the solution from the sulphonated lignocellulosic material.
Abstract:
Sulphite waste liquor is concentrated in a plural effect evaporator; the so-removed vent steam containing SO2 is cooled at low pressure and the condensate discharged; and the resulting gas rich in SO2 is compressed to atmospheric pressure in a vacuum pump requiring little or no sealing water.
Abstract:
In washing paper pulp or similar fibrous suspension the suspension is moved intermittently vertically through a column. In the dwell periods, washing liquid is forced through the fibrous suspension, and the resulting ''''extract'''' removed, in a generally horizontal direction through perforate screening members forming portions of the column.
